Creator's Key Takeaways
95% of them, I was looking at the numbers, 95% of them insure through talc rather than aliance.
It's a flat rate. Um depending on your trip you're doing it's just one rate and it doesn't it doesn't change.
If you have their insurance, um again, no matter the reason you cancel, you're you're going to lose less.
By buying TAS insurance you're cutting your penalties in half uh if you cancel after final payment.
